Great fun and a vicarious thrill.
Fun look at the "post-war" night club scene in New York. If, like me, you've seen tantalizing glimpses of the big night clubs in books and movies of the time, you'll get a thrill here. El Morrocco! Copacabana! The 21 Club! (Excuse the brag- I've actually had lunch at 21! Gloat!)
Unfortunately, the only famous face that will ring bells today is that of Orson Welles. I'd like to have done more star-spotting here.
The backstage look at these Meccas is fascinating. Too bad these days are gone.
